SGFMS presents Sultans of String: Walking Through the Fire

LU Bora Laskin Auditorium 955 Oliver Rd, Thunder Bay, ON, Canada

Sultans of String: Walking Through the Fire
3x JUNO nominees and SiriusXM winners Sultans of String create “Energetic and exciting music from a band with talent to burn!” (Maverick Magazine UK). Thrilling their audiences with their genre-hopping passport of Celtic reels, flamenco, Django-jazz, Arabic, Cuban, and South Asian rhythms, Sultans of String celebrate musical fusion and human creativity with warmth and virtuosity. Fiery violin dances with rumba-flamenco guitar, while bass and percussion lay down unstoppable grooves. Acoustic strings meet with electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound, while world rhythms excite audiences to their feet with the irresistible need to dance.
We are excited for the opportunity to be presenting "Walking Through the Fire" live with our collaborators. The concert lineup consists of the core Sultans of String members (Chris McKhool on violin, Kevin Laliberté on guitar and Drew Birston on bass), as well as Indigenous collaborators Marc Meriläinen (Nadjiwan), Alyssa Delbaere-Sawchuk of the Métis Fiddler Quartet, and Coast Tsm’syen Elder Shannon Thunderbird. For some shows we are also joined by Don Ross, The North Sound, Leela Gilday and many others.
We also have incredible multimedia technology to bring in virtual guests on the big screen, including Dr. Duke Redbird, the Northern Cree Pow Wow group, and more!
